Overview : This card features an orchestra leader, the figure of positive power, based on knowledge, competence, vision and human qualities. He federates individualities to create a harmonious whole and to produce something wonderful.
What it suggests :
Identify toxic or positive power.
Positive power allows a society to function as harmoniously as possible. A good Emperor is benevolent. He has earned his position through his human qualities and skills. He gives momentum, guides and coordinates. He provides expert advice and makes useful resources available.
He sets a framework that allows people to express their talents and give their best. Toxic power is not based on competence and skills but on status. It is manipulative and harsh. It belittles others to assert its superiority. When you vote, when you search for a job, when you join an organization make sure that the leadership is positive, not toxic.
Do everything you can to fight toxic power or at least, to avoid it. When you are in a position of power, whatever it is, always keep in mind the qualities and the attitudes of the good Emperor.
Inspiration : The ancient cards seemed very dated to me in their representation of masculine power. Figures of toxic power: imperialism, machismo, received and undeserved power… I preferred the conductor.

Identifier le pouvoir positive ou toxique
Inspiration : Les cartes anciennes m’ont paru très datées dans leur représentation du pouvoir masculin. Figures d’un pouvoir toxique: l’impérialisme, le machisme, le pouvoir reçu et non mérité… Je leur ai préféré le chef d’orchestre.
